In this first episode of the second season of the series Encontro, a partnership between Itaú Cultural and the Arte1 channel, the editor-in-chief of Arte1 Gisele Kato talks with photographer Claudio Edinger. Claudio knew that many early 20th-century artists had Spanish flu in their work and then wondered, “what do I have to say about covid-19”? At the meeting, he talks about the records titled “Quarantine”, the search for the universal image, and his master Yogananda. And play the harmonium!
